Winter Sowing Made Easy: Lupines, Yarrow & Columbine

There is something magical about starting perennials in the middle of winter! Today, I’m showing you the step-by-step process of winter sowing three of my absolute favorites: Lupine, Yarrow, and Columbine. These hardy plants are perfect for a New Hampshire zone 5b garden (and many other zones, too!). In this video, we cover the essential differences between native and hybrid varieties, the 'cold stratification' secrets for better germination, and why you don’t need to worry about nicking or soaking your seeds when Mother Nature is helping you out. Whether you’re looking to support pollinators with Yarrow or add the cottage-core charm of Columbine and Lupine, these budget-friendly methods will help you fill your garden for a fraction of the cost of nursery plants.
